Very cool. What's the ComMarker costs and specs needed to etch into steel? Presume it's pretty powerful. Thought about how you can do descriptors too? Is it this one? https://store.commarker.com/products/b4-fiber-laser-engraver

Some questions: - Can it do descriptors? - What wattage engraver is needed to engrave steel? - Does it print the words on steel as well as the QR?

Aside from being a full-time BTC engineer, I'm a father to amazing children and a husband to an incredible wife.

Family is the whole reason I'm in Bitcoin.

So what happened with the Coldcard hack isn't a tech story to me. Families lost generational wealth. Parents who did everything "right" are sitting at kitchen tables tonight, trying to find the words to tell their partner that the family's savings are gone. That's more than lost sats — that's broken trust, and children's futures at risk.

I can't undo any of it and honestly, I don't know if this is the right time to open-source anything. But sitting on a tool that might help even one family rebuild felt worse than the risk of bad timing.

I just open-sourced SeedTapper — the machine I built to engrave my own family's seed plates. Air-gapped Pi 5 + fiber laser. Scan a SeedQR , verify it on screen, engrave it in titanium. No network. No disk. Nothing to trust except code you can read.

It's a personal tool — rough, unaudited, but real and working. If you're rebuilding trust from zero and want your family's keys on metal you made yourself, it's yours now. Free, MIT, videos and build guide included:

To every one affected Stay strong!

This whole thing is so gut wrenching. I have not been personally affected by this but just the thought I could have makes me dizzy. And angry. In days like these I wonder why we’re even in Bitcoin. We used to say at least we sleep better by practicing self custody. How’s that going for us…

Then HAMSTR it is. HF radio to a server, running as a relay to not quite implemented yet, but soon. Reticulum can do this on its own or using nostr over HAMSTR. Encryption over HF bands however are illegal as is in many places. But in grid down, or other government control issues, all bets off.
